CHÉN - CHEN Vietnamese Restaurant

This place came recommended by one of our Vietnamese friends. It did not disappoint, although some items are not my ‘thing’ - intestines, blood sausage, shrimp paste sauce. But did like many of the other items, especially the shareable platters offer food for anyone’s taste. Excellent service.

We tried 5-6 dishes, they were all delicious, big portions. I traveled to Vietnam a few months ago with friends and everything we tried is super authentic.

Loved the vibe, friendly staff, very little wait even on a weekend. Can't wait to go back.

I went in without any big expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is very clean and welcoming, and the food was just as fresh and well-prepared. The prices aren’t the lowest, but considering the quality and taste, I’d say it was definitely worth it. I left very satisfied and would happily come back again.

Service was attentive and helpful. We went with the recommended dishes: the assortment plate with shrimp paste sauce, and the vermicelli platter with pork and crab parcel. I felt the price was a bit high for the assortment plate as the blood sausage was not that tasty and the steamed tongue was dry and tasteless; everything else was good but I would not order this dish again as the value was not there for me. The bun cha was good but not the best I’ve had.

We came at 5 pm and there were a lot of people arriving at the same time so we had to wait 45 mins for our food to arrive. While that’s understandable as a new restaurant, the food that arrived are mostly luke warm. We ordered the spring roll, beef pho and chicken dry pho. The spring rolls were soggy and almost cold and the beef pho was not even hot enough for the bean sprouts. The chicken dry pho is okay but definitely no comparison to the dry noodles at Phnom Penh. We didn’t bother returning the dishes as we were hungry and don’t want to wait anymore. Was excited to try a new restaurant in the neighborhood but won’t be back again.

Amazing North Vietnamese pho and noodle dishes and a yummy caramel flan. The place was very busy and staff were wonderful being friendly and efficient. The vibe was busy noisy but joyful. The prices were reasonable given the quality of the food.

Both the pho and bún chả here are excellent! The pho has a rich, comforting broth with fresh ingredients, while the bún chả comes with tender grilled pork, crisp herbs, and a perfectly balanced dipping sauce. Great flavors, generous portions, and friendly service—definitely worth a visit!
